++++Infinity. I'm in better shape now at (almost) 45 than I was at 30.0 -
After running into an old classmate that I haven't seen since grade school- she said, "WOW! You were bigger than that in Girl Scouts!"

Hilarious!! How old is your son?

My wife and I were at a Halloween party over the weekend and there were a lot of people there that we hadn't seen in a year or two. The host of the party came up to me as we were leaving and told me everyone was in the kitchen asking her if my wife dumped me and got remarried. She had to tell them all I was actually the same husband she's always had.
I was very flattered. The host herself even told me when we got there that I didn't look like the same person anymore.0 -
My husband, while I was filling fish tanks:
Your a** is shaping up nicely.
Appropriate fish tank conversation, huh?0 -

This isn't really "funny" but kind of insensitive-
I lost a total of 80 lbs over the years, but gained some for a pregnancy this year. Now AFTER having a baby 7 months ago, I've been working hard and lost 25 lbs. Some of this was pregnancy weight that remained after delivery, and some was extra. I am below my pre pregnancy weight and WAS feeling good about this progress lately.
Then the other day, a few of us were chatting when someone mentioned not liking their weight, and one of my relatives says "Who cares? We are all fat." Yeah. That just motivated me to lose more before I see those people again. I have about 45 more lbs to reach my goal weighht. Sigh. I've had another relative say things in conversations such as "us big girls" and referring to us as fat, knowing how hard I work. Its true, but still insensitive.0 -
I am a high school teacher, I taught a kid as a freshmen 2 years (and 92 pounds ago). We would see each other in the hall his sophomore year as I was losing, but I didn't ever talk to him. He saw me this year during homecoming and just looked me up and down and up and down.
"Mrs. F... did you get a hair cut?"
"No, it actually hasn't been this long in years"
"Are you sure, something is different....?" puzzled look on his face....
I just left him to figure it out. Dork.

a co-worker at work noticed my skirt seems longer... (it used to only come to my mid calf.. now it is almost ankle length) and i mentioned that yes it does seem longer, and his comment to me "well you have less terrain it needs to go over!" LOL I love it!0

My fiance actually told me that I was tiny and petite. I've still got about 24 pounds until I reach my goal weight, but I've NEVER been called tiny in my life, even when I was a kid. Love that man 0

Then I started losing, her comment then was I look sick I had better stop. So I just realized that no matter what I did she would never see me in a positive light. Why are the people who are supposed to love you the most the most hurtful.
Just ignore it. Hugs0 -
Today an old friend who I haven't seen in a while was so amazed at the way I looked. I've lost 111 pounds.
After sitting together talking for about an hour, she said, " You know, you really do look incredible, If I wasn't married..and you weren't married......."
The really funny part is were both women and we've both been married more than 30 years!
The first time anyone has flirted with me in 34 years (besides my husband) and it's my middle aged girlfriend!

I've had people call me skinny minnie while I was still obese, that one always used to crack me up.
Lately when I meet health professionals or people that I haven't seen in a while they ask if I lost the weight on purpose.
The last example being the occupational health nurse at my new job. She saw my passport photograph, said you have lost a lot of weight, I said yes I have, was it on purpose? Yes, yes it was.
It sort of annoys me I see it as a polite way of asking if I lost the weight through illness and that just takes away from the hard work I've put in.
I do love my hubby's comments at the moment though, with a naughty twinkle in his eyes he keeps telling me I'm sooo tiny. I'm still technically overweight but in his defence he has never seen me this thin i was about 9kg heavier when I met him 14years ago.0 -
From HR while filling out the I9 form (IRS form for proof of work eligibility): "Holy *kitten*! That's not you!"
My driver's license photo is from when I was 230 lbs and around 40% body fat. I'm at 180llbs and 20% now.
Any day you can get the HR rep to swear is a good one.0 -

You know there's probably a form you could fill out to report them for that!

My favorite wasn't exactly a comment, just a reaction.
After I'd lost 60 lb, I went to the office of a friend whom I hadn't seen since before I started losing.
He knew I was going to be there, and about when.
As I came in, he glanced up from what he was doing across the room, looked back down (like he didn't recognize me)...
then looked back up at me & stared, open-mouthed.
He also had the good sense to follow up his initial comment ("you look great!") with "how do you feel?".
Wonderful, thankyewvurramuch.
And _later_ he asked how much I'd lost. (60 lb as of that morning.)

Yeah, I always kinda think that too,ReeseG wrote:"Wow! You look nice today."
My smart mouth came back with, "So... What? I looked like Sht before?"
but I've come to take that as "you look nicer than usual today", which is probably how they meant it.
Or maybe even "you normally look OK, but today you look better".

turns away to finish what he was doing and says all softly "probably go to prison".

A few girls in my old social circle started a rumor that I lost weight by doing drugs. This hurt deeply because my father was an alcoholic and drug addict when I was growing up. It destroyed my childhood and family and had such an influence on me that I don't even touch alcohol, let alone drugs. The only thing that hurt more was that a few friends that I thought knew better actually found it so much easier to accept that I got so thin from drugs rather than hard work. I completely stopped associating with most of the people I knew after that. I only kept the few really good friends that knew me better than that.
Good for you! Now you know who your true friends are!rhianna818 wrote: »H34v3nlySinsx3 wrote: »To be honest, the funniest comment about losing weight wasn't said to me but by me. It was, "I miss my fat" in regards to how cold I get in the winter time. I never realized how warm my fat kept me until I lost it, haha!
I have always joked said I have some weird form of reverse fat that doesn't keep me warm. I always get cold. As much as I hear my fellow MFP posters complain about being cold makes me very worried for how cold I'll be as I continue to lose.
I have a space heater pointing at my feet right now, LOL!0 -

When I read the title, the first thing that came to mind wasn't something said to me after losing weight, but something said to me before.
A lovely slim friend of mine, of asian origin, very beautiful, turned to me, held my chin in her hand and said "You'd look so beautiful if you lost some weight" then wondered over to the bar to get us more drinks.
It was sort of shocking, because she actually meant it as a compliment, because I think she almost saw the weight as something I could *easily* fix.0
